WandaVision episode 5 is about to drop -- so it’s the perfect time for a spoiler-filled, Grown-Ass catch-up on the first 4 episodes. Hear wild educated guesses about who will appear next, and how this whole crazy thing might end, from Rhonda Goldstein, Steve Garvey, Joanna Parson, Graham Stevens, Sean Stoops and Art Dupras.

Time flies in Grown Ass Men world. Last time we had comic book author/artist Jamar Nicholas on our show it was November 2016 (which shocked all of us!). It's crazy times for everyone but great things are happening for Jamar and his character Leon. He just signed a publishing deal with Scholastic for multiple Leon books so it was perfect timing to catch up again. We chat about his deal, life during Covid and other comic book related stuff. Don't miss it!Original music by Adam Bernstein

The US Constitution might seem -- well, frankly, boring. But not to R. Sikoryak. Do yourself a favor and check out our inspiring conversation with him about his book, ‘Constitution Illustrated’ (Drawn & Quarterly), and see how his amazing artwork kicks originalism to the curb, just in time for the election. It’s a perfect thing to listen to while standing in line to vote. Music by Adam Bernstein, natch.

It's summer in the city. It's not your typical Lovin Spoonful summer, it's a freaking Covid summer, so Grown Ass Men decided to dig into one of our fave topics; The Convincing. This is where we convince each other that you must check out this book.This time is different though. We decided to do a musical "convincing" so we called upon honorary GAM and fantastic musician Sam Mastandrea to join us. We chat guilty pleasures, Prince, Hall and Oates, Jefferson Airplane and the great year 1977!We also send a shout out to recently departed genius inker of Marvel's greatest, Joe Sinnott. You don't want to miss this one.Original music by Adam Bernstein

As everyone knows, the coronavirus is doing damage through out the world. When Grown Ass Men recorded Ep. 77, the virus was just beginning to hit the US and we had no clue what was to happen shortly after. In NYC were we live, the numbers effected are extremely high and we recorded this episode under quarantine.So what better topic than to discuss how superheros would deal this situation. Would Wolverine observe the quarantine? Does Bruce Banner have the virus if the Hulk contracts it? We also chat about the classic Marvel title What If. Honorary Grown Ass Man Sam Mastandrea joins us for the fun.Original music by Adam Bernstein

Music is helping all of us in this crazy time. But you’re probably sick of listening to ‘Splendid Isolation’ by Warren Zevon on repeat. Well, the Grown Ass Men are here to help by diving deep into the great (and not-so-great) theme songs from James Bond movies, in our brand new quarantine episode! Featuring 007 superfan Gil Sembrano, this one will definitely give you some new tracks to listen to. Oh, and you’ll learn what Thom Yorke thinks is the sexiest song EVER. Stay well, friends!

Happy New Year folks! Hope everyone had a fantastic grown ass holiday where Galactus didn't devour your entire planet!Every year at this time, Grown Ass Men have a tradition of acknowledging what we really want for the holidays (besides world peace) are comic books. This year we got the Superhero Holiday Grab Bag Treasury editions, so we had to chat about some of the weirdest collections of reprints in a giant over sided book ever put out. Our other tradition is to try to convince each other about other comic book related topics. This years "convincing" needed, uh, not much convincing. Give a listen!Here's to a great 2020.Original music by Adam Bernstein.

Ever since Stan Lee died just over a year ago, the Grown Ass Men have been talking about doing a Stan episode. Well, we got lucky because we got to interview writer and editor Danny Fingeroth just as his new book 'A Marvelous Life - The Amazing Story of Stan Lee' was just about to drop. Danny worked with Stan at Marvel and has been a big part of the comic book industry since the 70's! It's a great book which we highly recommend!

On Oct 30th, 1938, radio listeners got a special Halloween gift from a man who would become one of the greatest film-makers ever, Orson Welles. An adaptation H.G. Wells' 'War of the Worlds' aired -- and people were panicked! Just what you want on Halloween, right? I guess it depends on who you ask. It's a must-listen radio program.Grown Ass Men decided to revisit that historic radio program with Welles expert and friend of the show Jeff Ward. Jeff is a playwright, composer and actor and let's just say he's very knowledgable on this topic. We also revisit the Marvel Comics War of the Worlds starring the rather mundane Killraven.Check it out!Original Music by Adam Bernstein.

Any comic book fan, especially those who read comics in the 60's and 70's, will remember all the crazy ads that ran monthly across the pages. Perhaps you remember, Sea Monkeys, Count Dante, Raquel Welch pillows and other amazing items that you just had to have. Well, Grown Ass Men have always been super interested in these so we contacted an expert on the subject, Kirk Demarais. His book "Mail Order Mysteries" is a definitive look at the ads and what was going on behind the scenes. Also in this episode - a brand new cover of the Traits classic "Nobody Loves the Hulk" by Sam Mastandrea and Adam Bernstein. Give a listen folks! Original music by Adam Bernstein

If you're a NYC person and a fan of progressive radio station WBAI, there's a good chance you've come across Max Schmid and his radio show The Golden Age of Radio.

Let it be known that Grown Ass Men likes a good art show. A comic book art show!? We are there. A year ago or so we went down to an amazing exhibit of Spider-Man original art at The Society of Illustrators in NYC. We had never seen so much original art (Ditko, Romita, Kane and many others) in one place, it was unreal! Turns out all this art was loaned to the Society by one of the biggest comic book art dealers, Mike Burkey. One look at Mike's website and you will be blown away by his collection. So, we got in touch to talk about his collecting and got some great stories too. Check it out!Mike Burkey - http://www.romitaman.comThe Society of Illustrators - https://www.societyillustrators.orgOriginal music by Adam Bernstein
